***If this braking problem was not there before replacing your tires,
then the lug nuts may have been torqued incorrectly which can inherently
set up vibrations and brake pulsations. Loosen the lugs a bit and
torque each to 90lbs/ft incrementlally (60, then 75, then 90) and then
drive it again. This may completely correct the problem or you may then
need to get the rotors machined cause some tire shop monkey cranked the
lugs on too tight!
